I've just read from pep.ph the great news that Haw-Ang (Before Harvest), the indie film which I reviewed and later promoted as its Publicity & Marketing officer, has been nominated in two categories for the prestigious Luna Awards 2008 of the Film Academy of the Philippines (FAP).

This is to confirm that I am not in Africa, contrary to the e-mail you might have received from "me." Apparently, my gmail account (ewongco@gmail.com) had been hacked, and the hacker sent malicious messages to all my contacts. I'm still in the process of retrieving my account (I have to wait five days); I can't just let it go because I've a lot of important

ANNE CURTIS is the prettiest and sweetest thing to see on TV among all female creatures--both primetime bida and telebabad--and she is definitely my top crush among them, maybe mostly because I've seen much of her during my Qpids days where she was a host (together with Manzano) and I was a contributing writer-cum-segment produ- cum-PA-cum-researcher. She was also doing

Here are some rough definitions of terms, for the sake of non-InfoNXXers: Queueing--call center term when many calls are in queue (that's why it's called such);

But it's August now and there seems to be so little chance for it to be published soon (plus the fact that I no longer work there), so I'm posting it here on my blog, four months after I wrote it.

It's the day before my birthday and what more appropriate way to prepare (or unprepare, actually) for it than to put up a wish list (in my case, lists; yes, even things we dream of having should be categorized.) Well, just two wish lists really. And I decided not to include the more serious list which includes my dreams for my family and my future.

This is a super-random thought. I've come up with a most important theory in the history of humankind. It is a theory of love in which we never really end up with the one we truly love. That the one we eventually find ourselves with is only a second choice, a runner up. If one breaks this principle, he or she is bound to eternal romantic perdition. It follows then that true

I was so glad to learn just recently that the indie film which I was a part of (PR/Marketing) garnered nominations from the 5th Golden Screen Awards. Although they didn't win any trophy, this is such a big triumph to Sizzling Gambas Productions and the people behind the film. (It also won some special award in some film festival in the States a few months

Eight long months of blogging absence is over and here I am now, back into the world of digitized (not digital) musings. So many things have happened in my life that if I were to share them all, I could make up for 240 plus days of blog posts lost. One which makes so much significance is the career path that I've taken... and this is important--blogging-wise--because
